TV anchor refuses to use Indian-origin guest’s non-binary pronoun saying it’s ‘grammatically incorrect’. Viral exchange

During a recent segment on TalkTV, anchor Julia Hartley-Brewer landed herself in controversy by using the wrong pronoun for her guest. How are you doing?” Despite Dave’s explicit request for non-binary pronouns, Hartley-Brewer refused to use them, saying that she was using “correct grammar”. So, I will use ‘she’ and ‘her,’ thank you very much.” Dave then tried to steer the conversation back to the review, saying, “Do what you like, I guess.” They added it is not grammatically wrong to use they/them pronouns for an individual. Dave further expressed that they want people to use the correct pronouns in case they want to refer to them “respectfully”. That’s when Hartley-Brewer asked Dave if it is “disrespectful to use correct, factual grammar?” The anchor added that she is using “correct pronouns for a single woman” appearing on her show.
